Old MacDonald had a farm, ee-igh, ee-igh oh! So begins the classic children's nursery song, loved and sung by generations of children. In this brand new edition, Lorinda Bryan Culley has created a bustling country farm in which Old MacDonald tries as hard as he can to get his work done, despite the topsy-turvy antics of his naughty, rambunctious animals.

As he spends the day doing his chores, his spunky animals just can't resist making mischief. At dawn his roosters tug at his nightcap to wake him up; at breakfast his dogs eat his toast and turn over the milk jug; and when he tries to catch a quick nap in his hammock, his turkeys surround him squawking away.

Lorinda Bryan Cauley's fresh approach to this well-loved song is filled with the clear, glistening colors of the countryside and the warmth and humor she has brought to a host of other classic stories including The Pancake Boy, The Owl and the Pussycat and The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse. Children will be caught up in the wonderful world of an old-fashioned farm and can sing along to the piano music included at the end.
